Process
The interview process begins with an HR interview, followed by a coding challenge, and then a phone interview.
The coding challenge contains five parts. I chose C++ and Python. It includes several multiple-choice questions and coding questions.
Questions
The interviewer asks me a lot of C++ and Java concept questions, often with code examples.

Pros: The work culture is great. There is no weekend work and no work is expected after office hours.
Cons: The compensation is good, but not amazing. The technical learning opportunities are not too good, and things like technical book clubs for improving our knowledge were frowned upon as time-wasters.

A very comfortable place to work, with less than outstanding career opportunities for young stars
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Natick, Massachusetts, United States
November 25, 2008
Pros: The MathWorks is a very comfortable place to work.
The products are not generally the best in terms of usability or quality, but the sheer number of users makes the job worthwhile.
It is a fun environment for the most part, with many interesting people.
Cons: Career opportunities are not great. There are two tracks within software development: technical and managerial.
Progression along both tracks is essentially seniority-based, despite the performance review process. The company is growing at a good pace, so promotions generally seem to occur as your team grows.
Compensation is generally based on years of experience and may not reflect your contribution.
